The czech republic has finally picked a short English name for the country_Czechia. Politicians say the name will make it easier for companies,sportsmen and others to label products and clothing. The debate has raged since the republic split with partner slovakia in 1993,spelling the end of czechoslovakia. But on thursday,the president,prime minister,heads of parliament,foreign and defence ministers agreed Czechia. Once it is approved officially at a cabinet meeting the foreign ministry can lodge it with the UN. However,some opponents say the names sounds ugly and others suggest it sounds too similar to the chenchen Republic, or chechnya,leading to possible confusion.
